It's a shame that sales of Vol.5 were so low that a Vol.6 was never released as I would have preferred the Classic line to have continued and not just for the sake of completion.

I really hope that sales for New Mutants Classic don't decline too much after the Sienkiewicz run ends since... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Kevin The Insinuator) http://marvelmasterworksfansite.yuku.com/sreply/236182 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 14:26:57 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Say it ain't so!

First time I ever heard it was from the mouth of Homer Simpson.

Do you know, I think that's where I picked it up too. I guarantee you the "and I mean DONE!" part at the end is a Simpsonism.

I'm talking about David Gabriel's statement on the future of my favorite Marvel reprint:
"Excalibur I think we've done all we can for now"
